According to a posting on the Jonas Brothers' MySpace page on Monday, Nick headed to Nashville's Black Bird Studios earlier this year, where he recorded a host of songs he'd written over the last three years that were "not quite right" for the JoBros.

Joining Nick in the studio were a number of musicians which eventually were dubbed The Administration. The outfit included drummer Michael Bland and keyboardist Tommy Barbarella who have played in the New Power Generation, and John Fields on bass.
